Baylor to take legal action to bar BAA from using universitys name, trademarksWACO, TX -- Baylor University will initiate legal action against the Baylor Alumni Association in an attempt to stop the group from continuing to use the universitys name and trademarks.
In a May 19 letter to the associations board of directors, Baylor President and Chancellor Ken Starr wrote that the university is preparing the appropriate course to bar the BAA from continuing to act as an official alumni organization for Baylor.
The action stems from a lengthy battle between Baylor and the BAA over the alumni groups independent status. The relationship was further severed after the association did not approve a transition agreement last fall that would have dissolved the organizations independent charter and allowed Baylor to assume all alumni outreach and communications.
Over many months, we have clearly and repeatedly communicated the possibility of the exercise of the universitys legal rights in the absence of an appropriate plan of action from the association, Starr wrote in the letter. Because we cannot shrink from doing our duty to serve all Baylor alumni; to guard against demonstrable confusion about the universitys alumni program; and to protect the integrity of Baylors good name, we have determined, with great sadness, that the time has come for us to move forward.

in 1998 or '99, flying into Seattle. Inside the terminal there was a man with a table full of literature and a big poster of Ken Starr captioned "The Most Dangerous Man in America". He had a decent sized crowd and everyone was reaching for the lit he was handing out. Living in one of the 'reddest' parts of Colorado didn't afford any opportunities for such displays, and I was very encouraged to see it, even more encouraged by the rather enthusiastic response it garnered. And that is the only positive memory I will ever have about that jerk.
